¹献上自己当作活祭

¹Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

²不要模仿这个世代，倒要借着心意的更新而改变过来，使你们可以察验出什么是　神的旨意，就是察验出什么是美好的、蒙他悦纳的和完全的事。

²Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

³信徒行事为人的准则我凭着所赐给我的恩典，对你们各人说，不可自视太高，高于所当看的，反而应该照着　神分给各人信心的大小，看得适中。

³For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

⁴就像一个身体有许多肢体，各肢体都有不同的功用；

⁴For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function,

⁵照样，我们大家在基督里成为一个身体，也是互相作肢体。

⁵so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

⁶照着所赐给我们的恩典，我们各有不同的恩赐：说预言的，就应当照着信心的程度去说；

⁶Having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, if prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

⁷服事人的，就应当照着恩赐去服事；教导的，就应当照着恩赐教导；

⁷or service, let us give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;

⁸劝慰的，就应当照着恩赐劝慰；把财物分给人的要真诚；领导的要殷勤；行善的要乐意。

⁸or he who exhorts, to his exhorting: he who gives, let him do it with liberality; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

⁹爱，不可虚伪；恶，要厌恶；善，要持守。

⁹Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

¹⁰要以手足之爱彼此相亲，用恭敬的心互相礼让。

¹⁰In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; in honor preferring one another;

¹¹殷勤不可懒惰，心灵要火热，常常服事主；

¹¹not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

¹²在盼望中要喜乐，在患难中要坚忍，祷告要恒切。

¹²rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer;

¹³圣徒有缺乏的，就要接济；客旅要热诚地款待。

¹³contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality.

¹⁴迫害你们的，要为他们祝福；只可祝福，不可咒诅。

¹⁴Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.

¹⁵要与喜乐的人一同喜乐，与哀哭的人一同哀哭。

¹⁵Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.

¹⁶要彼此同心，不可心高气傲，倒要俯就卑微的。不可自以为聪明。

¹⁶Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.

¹⁷不可以恶报恶。大家以为美的事，要努力去作。

¹⁷Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.

¹⁸可能的话，总要尽你们的所能与人和睦。

¹⁸If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.

¹⁹亲爱的啊，不要为自己伸冤，宁可等候主的忿怒，因为经上记着，主说：“伸冤在我，我必报应。”

¹⁹Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.” Deuteronomy 32:35

²⁰相反地，“如果你的仇敌饿了，就给他吃；如果渴了，就给他喝。因为你这样作，就是把炭火堆在他的头上。”

²⁰Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.” Proverbs 25:21-22

²¹不可被恶所胜，反要以善胜恶。

²¹Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
